Of the total issue of $5,000,000 of bonds, only

Boston and the We.st. A bonus of $10,000 stock is given with each

Messrs. Kuhn, Loeb & Co. now offer one of the most prominent loans of the current year, namely, the $20,000,000 4^ per
cent gold loan of the Pennsylvania Company. Only $10,000,000 are now offered, and each bond has endorsed thereon the
absolute guaranty of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company for
principal and interest. The bonds are secured by the leases of
the Pittsburg Fort Wayne & Chicago and the Cleveland &

the cities of Pittsburg, Allegheny and Chicago, and by stocks

others is invited to the financial statement, on another page, of
the Gulf Colorado & Santa Fe Railroad of the State of Texas,
the bonds of same having been lately placed on the List of the
New York Stock Exchange. This road commences at Galveston
on the Gulf Coast, and runs in a northwesterly direction toward Santa Fe, New Mexico, traversing the vallevs of the
Brazos and Colorado rivers, one of the most fertile sections of
this rich State. The G. C. & S. F. RR. was projected and built
by the bankers and merchants of Galveston, Texas. It has only
$6,000 stock per mile, all of which has been paid in full, and has
a first mortgage gold bond of $13,000 per mile, bearing 7 per
cent interest, payable semi-annually in New York, the bonds
maturing in July, 1909. As will (be seen bv the statement, the
road has shown large earning capacity, and after payment of
interest, &c., presents a handsome surplus.

State and Railroad Bonds. There has been little activity in
Southern State bonds, though the feeling is generally strong.
The State Treasurer and Comptroller of Tennessee have been in
this city to make arrangements for the new engraved bonds of
that State, and the latest advice.s from Nashville indicate that the
Eroposed injunction suit against carrying out the funding law
as fallen through.
Railroad bonds have beem strong and active on a widely-distributed business.

is very doubtful whether such a valuable franchise as the power
to control rapid transit in New York, now possessed by the Manhattan Company, will be permitted to 1ap>8e, although it may be

" The roads purchased and constructed give an increase of
1,544 miles, and make the company now the owner of 3,775
miles of completed road." » * *
" The purchase of the Chicago & PaciBe Railway gave the
company a line directly west from the city of Chicago to Rock
River, which required only the construction of 26 miles to connect with the Southwestern Division of this company near
Lanark. That connection has been made, and the company
now owns a direct route from Chicago to the Mississippi River
at Savpnna, and thence westerly to Marion and Ced.ar Rapids.
The distance from Marion to the Missouri River at Council
Bluffs is about 265 miles, and with the construction of a line
between these points the company would have as direct and
short a line from Chicago to Council Bluffs as any other company." * * *
" la connection with the purchase of the Southern Minnesota
and Southei'n Minnesota Railway Extension companies, this
company became the beneficial owner of 315,000 acres of excellent land near the lines of those companies. The company has
also received from the Government; on account of the extension of the line from Algona to Sheldon, in Iowa, 120,000 acres,
and by a .settlement with the McGregor & Missouri River Railroad Company. 130,000 acres. It has also claims on the Government, which it hopes will be recognized, for 170,000 acres in
addition. A land department has been organized and is now
disposing of these lands, which have much to commend them to
iaettlera, and are in good demand*"

Mr. J. H. Converse, the President, remarks in his report: "At
no time in the history of your road has there been so much inquiry for land on its line as at the present, and every indica- _
tion warrants the belief that the sales of land will continue to
increase each year over the preceding until the lands shall be
nearly disposed of." * * *

Since the reorganization of this company, in December,
1875, the work of filling and replacing all temporary structures

result in a material reduotion in cost of maintaining the road.
There has been addtd every year new equipment and rolling

"The Manhattan Railway Company, representing and operating all the elevated railroads in the City of New York, begs
leave to submit to you the following facts in regard to its
financial condition, fer the purpose of securing your earnest
co-operation in the measure herein proposed of relief from
taxes. The belief seems to have obtained circulation that the
operating of the elevated roads is a source of great profit to
the company now managing them, and that therefore the
imposing of large taxes is only a fair shire of city burdens to
be placed upon them. Such is, unfortunately, not true. The
official report for the year ending September 30, 1880, made
to the State Engineer, shows that the roads were operated that
year at a loss of about $500,000 to the Manhattan Company.
This did not include the taxes on structure and capital, which
were fixed by the city at about $650,000.

"In addition to the heavy burden above recited, there still remain the taxes for 1879 and 1880 unpaid and in arrears, amounting to the large sum of $960,000, for which, under the recent decision of the Court of Appeals, this company is liable. To insist
on the payment of this amount of arrears of taxes would be sim"Durply to force the company into bankruptcy."
ing the third year, 1880-'81, we find that these hopes [of increased
profits] are not realized; for while the gross receipts are satisfactorily large and quite equal to expectations, the expenses have
increased in even greater proportion, leaving the net income
much less than the year before, and that, too, on an added
mileage and capital. This unlooked-for increase in expanses is
ascertained to have been caused by: (1) A rise in the price of
coal.
In 1879 it cost us $2 50 per ton; a year ago we paid $3 30;
now it costs $4 30 per ton, and for the balance of the year we
are asked $4 60. We consume very nearly 400 tons per day.
The wages of all classes of our employees have been in(2)
creased an average of fully 15 per cent (or more than $20,000
per month) over last year. The men are even now clamoring
for a still further advance. (3) The cost of oil and iron and
most all other articles consumed on the road is greater. (4)
The repairs to structures and rolling stock are very much in excess of anything that anybody every expected. For the first
two years, when everything was new, the repairs of course were
*
slight; now we feel the full eflfect of wear and tear." * * *
" We ask you, therefore, if you will not co-operate with us in
getting an act passed by the Legislature, at its present session,
relieving this company from all other form of taxation, and substituting a tax of, say 5 per cent on the net earnings, or an
equivalent tax on the gross earnings of, say 2 per cent. We
further pray that we be relieved from paying any part of the
arrearages of taxes for 1879 and 1880. Respectfully submitted,

This .statement shows that up to Mar. 31 the receipts at the
tills year were 594,2SS bales more than in 1879-80 and
984,591 bales more than at the sam* time in 1878-79. By adding
to the above totals to Mar. 31 the daily receipts since that time, we
shall be able to reach an exact comparison of the movement for
ports
the
different years.
The above totals for this week fjhow that the movement from
the ports other than Bombay is 9,000 bales less than for the
same week last year. For the whole of India, therefore, the total
shipments this week acd since January 1, 1881, and f»r the corresponding weeks and periods of the two previous years, are as

New York. The sale was the largest of its class
ever held in this country, and about 7.900 pieces were disposed
of, but at prices which probably entailed a loss upon the mantifacturer, though it is doubtful whether the goods could hare
been sold privately to such advantage, in the present condition
of the market.
Domestic Cotton Goods. The export movement in cotton
foods is progressing favorably, and the present year's business
ids fair to be the largest in the history of the trade.
The
exports of domestics for the week ending April 20 were 3,294
packages, of which 1,751 were shipped to China, 744 to Great
Britain. 409 to United States of Colombia, 6S to Central America,
65 to Venezuela, and smaller parcels to other markets. The
demand by jobbers was mostly restricted to moderate lots of
plain and colored cottons of the best makes (most of which are
steadily held), and low grade fabrics ruled quiet until nearly
the end of the week, when reduced prices enabled agents to
effect a fair business in some makes of bleached goods that have
been very quiet of late. Print cloths were quiet and a trifle
easier, extra 64x643 closing steady at S%e., and 56x60s at 3M@
3 516c. Prints and lawns continued sluggish, and cotton dress
goods were generally dull; but there was a satisfactory demand

—There has been a somewhat more
able sales to jobbers disposed to anticipate their autumn
requirements. Worsted dress goods were mostly quiet, and
lace buntings are lower in some cases. Carpets were unsettled
by the auction sale alluded to above, and some makes of
tapestry carpets will be reduced on May 1 in order to meet the
market. Hosiery and knit underwear continued quiet and
unsettled.
PoREioN Dry Goods have been dull in importers' hands,
but jobbers have experienced a fair demand for light re-assortments of silks, dress goods, millinery goods, linens, embroidPrices of the most desireries, laces, hosierj' and gloves, &c.
able fabrics are fairly sustained, but there is some pressure to
sell low-grade silks and some descriptions of dress goods by
means of concessions from nominal holding quotations.

bands has been only mod-
erate the past week, and there wasa good deal of irregularity in
the demand, certain fabrics having shown a fair de.gree of animation while others were almost neglected. The jobbing trade
was of fair aggregate proportions, and it is probable that the
business of the month, now nearly closed, will prove to be considerably larger than that of April, 1880, which, however, was
by no means an active month. The most important feature of
the week's business was a peremptory auction sale of tapestry
